Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 and 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup cashew butter (or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt, optional, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, cashew butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix vigorously until all ingredients are well incorporated and a dough-like consistency is achieved. Fold in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips evenly throughout the mixture.
  2. Shape the Dough: Line a cutting board or a large plate with parchment paper. Transfer the cookie dough onto the paper, then use a silicone spatula or clean hands to firmly press and spread the dough into an even layer about 1/2-inch thick. Set aside while preparing the chocolate topping.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, add 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Assemble the Bark: Pour and evenly spread the melted chocolate over the flattened cookie dough layer. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt on top to enhance the flavor and add a delightful crunch.
  5. Chill and Serve: Place the assembled cookie dough bark in the freezer and chill for at least 10 minutes until the chocolate topping hardens. Once set, remove from the fridge and cut into large chunks or desired shapes. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for later consumption.
